To watch the first of the 3 programmes, press REVIEW three times. The recorder searches and begins playback automatically. You can access a programme as far as 9 index codes away from the current tape position.

●Instant ReView is not possible while the recorder is in the Timer mode.

●The number displayed to the right of "REV" may not match the actual number of timer-recorded programmes when one or more of them is a PDC/VPS recording (☞ pg. 24).

● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.

● The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)

● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.

● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.

● Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays may be cut off during NTSC playback.
